Default Spring mods have begun

Well i ordered the Sparco Torino seats today. IM not sure of the diff between the three point and the four point harness. I think i should go with the ones that will bolt into the car where the old saftey belt went to and under the seat anyone have any suggestions. Im also looking to get new rims if anyone has any suggestions. Time to go crazy with the mods.
The mod bug has bit me hard this year

SV77: What body mods have you done? Your wheels and tires need a better pic. Looks good. TTT

I'm sure you'll love the new seats! I still haven't found the time to do my 4-point harness install, but it's coming...

I just received my Big Brake kit from PBC, IMO the value for the money is there...

Keith@corvette engineering has also come up with a great product, definately worth checking out.
